Le Meridién Étoile
Location:
Paris, France
Time:
April 2023
Shoot Type:

Challenge:

This was a smooth shoot overall, thanks in large part to the excellent in-house team. If there was one challenge, it came in the form of the fitness center—staging it to look natural and balanced, while capturing the Eiffel Tower view cleanly and without guest presence.

Solution:

The success of that shot came down to teamwork. Everyone involved helped fine-tune the staging around my composition, making sure the layout felt intentional and visually appealing. With good coordination and a bit of patience, we cleared the space and captured the frame at just the right moment.

Final Deliverables:

13 Final Images uploaded to the Marriott DAC and an online gallery.

Photographer’s Note

I loved being back in Paris—because, well, it’s Paris. The wide boulevards, café culture, and the rhythm of the streets are part of the city’s DNA. One evening I even managed a visit to one of Emmanuel Macron’s favourite restaurants. But what really stays with me is how walking through Paris isn’t sightseeing—it’s becoming part of the scene. Working at Le Méridien Étoile, with a view of the Eiffel Tower from the rooftop fitness center, reminded me why this city continues to inspire.
